Optix

Over the past year, we've recorded over 700 near-collisions caused by smoking distractions. It's clear that smoking while driving poses a significant risk, and we're committed to helping you stay safe on the road.

Smoking is one of the many distractions causing havoc on our roads, so we're here with some tips for limiting distraction:
🔸 Plan ahead: take your smoke break, send that text or make that call before your journey begins.
🔸 Ensure you're well rested so that fatigue isn't an added distraction to your drive.
🔸 Equip your fleet with safety solutions that can detect distractions and alert fleet managers.

Winter Reminder!

Winter mornings bring darkness and cold, which can lead to increased fatigue on the road. As you navigate the roads, remember to stay vigilant and keep your focus sharp, and keep the safety of yourself and those around you as the number one priority.

Stay safe and alert this winter season.

Winter is here! Ensure your fleet is prepared!

Winter is never just one specific weather condition, but rather a mixture of different cold conditions that can take a toll on road safety.

From rain, to snow, to fog and slippery sleet, Winter poses various challenges for drivers.

This is your reminder to keep your fleet maintained and to equip your fleet with advanced solutions that can detect your winter fatigue and keep you in line when it comes to distractions (like that warm winter morning coffee that keeps your hand off the steering wheel.)
